Chapter 763: Stockpiling Grain, Infinite Stockpiling
Just after the failure of diplomacy, the Goguryeo court could not hide any news, but all nobles with some status knew that a disaster was coming, and they probably didn't need the Tang army to fight, and a big war would break out in the country because of food.
The Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce was taken away by the big pair of Lu Yuan Gai Suwen A thousand stone of grain is just one of the nine cows, the whole Goguryeo grain industry, the Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce occupies sixty percent, it can be said that every city has their grain shop, even if there is no grain from the Tang Dynasty, relying on their grain alone, they can sell it normally in the country for a month.
It's just that during this period, even if anyone has food in their hands, they have to hide it, and no one dares to hype up how much grain they have, otherwise they are surrounded by red-eyed people, and maybe they will do something dangerous for the ration of survival.
But even so, there is no impermeable wall in the world, especially when there is a problem with the internal personnel of the Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce, the guards steal themselves, and after a shopkeeper inadvertently revealed the grain storage data of the headquarters, the people who have been panicking for half a month are not calm.
Starting from a small city, there were a few vicious ruffians who got entangled and directly robbed the grain store of the Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce in that city.
The Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce was furious and sued the government to severely punish the murderers, but after dealing with this group of robbers, the robbery in the nearby city resumed, and then it was like detonating a powder keg, which city did not have those people who could not eat?
This does not only refer to the poor people, there are also wealthy, those who need to buy grain in the city generally have no land and rely on money to buy food, but now it is good, you are a grain dealer and will not sell grain, what do we eat?
Hungry people can not distinguish between high and low, noble and low whether they have money or not, instead of robbing other passers-by of the grain, it is better to come to a big vote, directly rob the grain line once and for all, you can also relieve hatred, although the grain bank explained that the Tang Dynasty does not give a way to live, but we don't know any Datang people, only find our food.
So in three days, all the grain shops of the Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce in all cities in the country were robbed, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce had passed out three times.
personally went to the Goguryeo palace to sue the royal court, and the Goguryeo king did not wait for a long time, and the great pair of Lu Yuan Gai Suwen repeatedly promised to recover it.
But as soon as this person left on the front foot, Yuangai Suwen summoned a confidant.
"I heard that this Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce controls the sale of sixty percent of the country's scattered grain, hehe, now is wartime, and it is also the time for them to contribute to the country, as the so-called law does not blame the people, the people are innocent, then it can only be their fault.
Go and lead a team of people to find out where the headquarters of their trading house is stockpiled, all of which are the future military rations of our front. ”
The man said in disbelief: "This, big pair of Lu, we are the government, will it be ...... to grab grain directly?"
"Oh? Are we a government?
That's good, when you ask the brothers to go, they all wear civilian clothes, they are not allowed to reveal their identities, they are smart in their actions, not a single grain of food can be wasted, and whether they can withstand the coercion of Datang depends on your efforts. ”
Yuangai Suwen said gloomily, what he directly thought of at this time was the grain mountain of Datang, which could eat the grain mountain for ten months, if they didn't come to attack, would it be to spend ten months with us, and we would win?
Three days later, the Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce announced its dissolution, and the president hanged himself directly in his home.
Since then, the domestic grain dispute in Goguryeo has become more intense, and bandits in various places have continued to loot, but no one dares to do anything to the granary of the government because of the coercion of the government.
In addition to the government, many big families and nobles must have had food in their hands for many years, and at this time, all of them were hidden in obscurity, and even the gentlemen, nobles, and so on who often plagued the people in the past have also been reined in a lot, and no one wants to have an intersection with a group of red-eyed people.
Goguryeo, which was surging with such an undercurrent, spent two months walking on thin ice, the weather was getting colder, and it was about to enter winter, and I had always heard that the Tang garrison was attacking Goguryeo on the border, but a few months passed, and the Tang people did not move a single soldier, and there was no war at all.
At this time, the people stopped working, since there was no war, what did the court do with us more than 20% of the grain? A year's rations are not left, so brutal?
The second wave of rumors recurred, Yuan Gai Suwen wanted to cry without tears, it's not that we don't want to fight, it's really that people don't fight with us, people just eat and drink every day under the city, we belong to the defenders of the city, we can't shout that they attack the city, and we can't go to attack the enemy with 100,000 ourselves, that is, we will die.
But you said that at this critical moment when the soldiers were approaching the city, should we withdraw our 100,000 troops and leave 20,000 to defend the city every day?
This is even more impossible, what if it is Datang's tired strategy? It is not fun to deliberately snub our army in this way, and wait until our army withdraws, and the 200,000 people will directly attack the city and take the city without much effort.
So now Yuangai Suwen can be said to be sitting on pins and needles, Datang is so conspiracy, he is helpless, this is not to fight, this is clearly to fight the national strength.
After the winter, Goguryeo became even more tense, because more people had no surplus food at home, and many places were already homeless.
At this time, many people remembered the inexplicable and strange leaflet a few months ago, a white piece of paper that said, Datang has grain, fields, endless grain, large acres of fertile fields that no one cultivates, and people from other countries are welcome to join the Datang nationality and share the wealth.
This idea was seen as a joke by the people of Goguryeo when they were not worried about eating and drinking before, but now they rely on begging for food, and the thoughts in the hearts of many people are getting bigger and bigger, and they are out of control, so after some brewing, the first wave of pioneers who gritted their teeth and tried appeared, although it was only a team of more than 20 people, but it was the first batch of people in Goguryeo to join the Tang nationality.
These people obviously have shrewd people, knowing that this is tantamount to treason, there is nowhere to go in the country, no food and clothing, if you wait for the cold winter, it is a death, rather than this, it is better to go out and try, even if you are killed by the Tang people, it is not a loss, at most a hundred, for this purpose, more than 20 people went all the way from Pyongyang to stealth and sneak, after more than ten days of suffering, finally bypassed Anshi City, and walked to the opposite side of the Tang Dynasty military camp.
"Report, Dashuai, refugees, a group of refugees came to the front of the camp, and they claimed to join Datang." A barracks scout rushed in and rushed directly into the tent to report.
Li Jing and Du Ruhui were studying the matter of the war, and suddenly stood up after hearing this.
"Really?
Hahahaha, Keming, it's a big deal!
The fish have taken the bait, and it's finally time to reel in the net. ”
"Congratulations, Greetings."
"Let's go, let's go and personally receive this first batch of defectors, and we will buy horse bones today!"
Li Jing laughed and ordered all the generals in the army, whether on duty or not, to come and line up to greet the future good people of the Tang Dynasty.
